The Challenge

In addition to their big league team, the San Francisco Giants have six affiliated Minor League teams in the US and a baseball academy in the Dominican Republic. Whether at home or on the road, all of these professional athletes need to stay well-fed in order to compete at their best. The Giants order food six days per week for 160 players and staff — that’s over 6,000 meals during a typical season. Placing such a large volume of orders presents challenges, from the time it takes to source the right food, to finding reliable restaurants that can deliver meals where and when the team needs them.

Time-consuming restaurant research

With teams traveling to new cities on a daily basis, the nutrition team had to constantly research new restaurants to ensure their players were well fed across the country.

Inconsistent restaurant reliability

Without a reliable catering marketplace, the Giants' nutrition staff struggled to find dependable caterers and restaurants for issues like quality and quantity.

Challenging delivery logistics

It was a struggle for the Giants to coordinate consistent delivery and drop-off logistics with restaurants and catering partners.

Using ezCater has been a good way for us to streamline options … and a big portion is ezCater acting as a liaison for us with the restaurant for any logistical issues.
